the DEAL of the CENTURY!

So if you know me, you know that I regularly peruse the isles of the DI looking for something amazing, a treasure someone never knew they had and gave away to the DI...then a worker at the DI thought it was "ordinary" and slapped $5 on it, to which I found it, bought it and lived with the satisfaction that I owned a treasure that I literally dug for.

WELL...it FINALLY happened!!!! As I was looking at piles of other people's somewhat stinky, stale and dusty junk I saw some rugs tossed in the corner.

But because I regularly look at and daydream of owning a really expensive Persian rug, I kinda know what nice rugs look like, even from the back. I saw this rug and thought right away it looked like it had the potential to be nice. So I took it off the shelf and rolled it out only to find, A. it was in MINT condition and B. there was another one right behind it. They were marked $5 a piece! I scooped them up, paid for them and RAN out the door before they realized what just happened.

Well these are Beluchi rugs. They are about 3 feet x 4 feet, made in Belgium!!! I looked them up online and for a rug similar to this would cost around $280...for just one of them!!! Now I have 2! I am elated and all my trips to the stinky dusty smelling DI have paid off and convinced me that no matter what, I will NEVER stop perusing the isles of the DI.
